A Madison student’s intervention in a fight on University Ave. Saturday night disrupted two brothers’ assault of another man.
A 19-year old UW-Madison student stepped in to an argument between three men on the 500 block of University Ave. as two of the men began attacking the third man, who was knocked to the ground.
“The victim was knocked unconscious…but that did not stop the aggressor from delivering more blows to the man’s head,” Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement. “The Good Samaritan pushed past the man trying to restrain him and pulled the primary suspect off of the 28-year old victim.”
Both aggressors fled the scene but were later tracked down by UW-Madison Police, who identified the two as brothers.
The victim, who was taken to a hospital to receive treatment for head injuries, was unable to remember what happened, according to DeSpain.
“[He] did not believe he could have been involved in anything resembling mutual combat because he said, ‘I don’t fight,’” he said.
